Harris Communications recently completed the 2nd and final phase of the commercial cellular project for the Van Andel Cancer Institute.  This facility’s 2nd phase is a Leed Certified building and we extended our 1st phase multi-carrier distributed antenna system (DAS) into it adding Nextel in addition to providing  in-building coverage with Verizon and AT&T.

VAN ANDEL CANCER RESEARCH INSTITUTE

We completed a commercial cellular repeater solution for The Van Andel Institute (VAI).  Founded in 1996, the vision was  an institute that would have an impact world-wide in enriching and enhancing lives through biomedical research and education.

This is a question that comes up fairly frequently when we conduct site surveys and speak with clients over the course of the project.  The simple answer is yes.  How many depends on many of the variables used in determining the coverage area of a system with a single inside antenna.  We generally assess what you are trying to achieve and take the size of your facility and solution into account before estimating the number of antennas.

The indoor antennas are low profile and can be installed with minimal disturbance to your facility.  In many cases it is necessary to conduct a site survey and ensure that there is ample space to install antennas.

Found this indie video about the Ace Hotel and wanted to share it with everyone.     Harris Communications implemented a multi-carrier cellular repeater solution for the hotel prior to the grand opening. 

Many of you have heard people in the wireless and telecommunications industry refer to the FCC.  The FCC stands for the Federal Communications Commission.  The FCC is a US government entity responsible for regulating communications industries.

A commercial cellular repeater or cellular booster is a type of bi-directional amplifier (BDA) as commonly named in the wireless telecommunications industry.  The device is used for boosting the cell phone reception to a designated through the usage of an antenna for reception, an amplified signal and an internal rebroadcast antenna.

Great question!

You can boost more than one cellular signal.  We prefer to conduct a site survey in order to determine the carrier readings in and outside your building to determine what solution will be the best fit.

How Cellular Reception Works

Cell phone reception is the strength of the connection the cell phone has to its network.  There are a variety of factors that impact cellular signal, such as proximity to a tower.  Most mobile devices use a set of bars of varying heights to display the strength of the signal where the device is located. 

Our engineers custom design wireless solutions for our clients to suit specific needs.  

A signal booster an interchangeable term for cellular repeater, cell phone repeater, or wireless cellular signal booster, a type of bi-directional amplifier (BDA) as commonly named in the wireless telecommunications industry.
